- concept: A grouping of instruction and question items within a unit. Content items in a concept are designed to teach students this information and/or skills.
- completed: Completing a concept means that you have completed all the instruction items and questions and scored below the set mastery percentage.
- learning workflow: A list of steps that contain content in a specific order. When you are learning a concept, you navigate through the learning workflow one step at a time, completing each item in turn.
- mastery percent: The percentage of accuracy in order to reach mastery in a concept. Scoring below the mastery percent may trigger scaffolding to a prerequisite concept, if one is present.
- mastered: Mastering a concept means that you have completed all the instruction items and question items and scored above the mastery percent.
- prerequisite: A prerequisite is a concept that serves as a building block for another concept. You are scaffolded to a prerequisite concept when you struggle with the original concept.
- remediation: The process by which you are automatically scaffolded to prerequisite concepts when you score below the mastery percent set for a concept.
- scaffolding: A concept is scaffolded if you complete the concept with a percentage of correct answers below the mastery percent. In this case, you are given access to a prerequisite concept, which must be completed before returning to the original concept. This prerequisite concept should provide foundational knowledge that can help you attempt the original concept a second time. When you attempt the original concept again, you will start fresh.
- sitting time: Sitting time is an estimate of how long it takes for you to complete a concept.
- unit: A unit is collection of concepts within a learning path. You progress through a learning path one unit at a time.
